Whether you’re searching for brightly colored eggs or being treated to medicinal herbs, this Sunday has something for everyone, and that includes budget-conscious gamers. We have a large number of deals for today’s Pricefall , and also bring word that Nintendo has price-dropped five of their hit 3DS games. Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D will be $29.99 MSRP at retail and on the Nintendo eShop. Also, while we are unable to confirm this ourselves, local Toys R Us stores may be selling select games at deep clearance. According to reports around the web, the selection may vary by store.

FUNimation has begun their Spring Easter Sale. Buy 3 or more titles and get an additional 20% off and 3 months free streaming anime. Orders of more than $50 are free to the US, and the promotion ends tomorrow.

This week’s Humble Weekly Sale is being supported by Devolver Digital. It’s pay what you want for seven games from Devolver, with 3 of them being unlocked at $6 or more, and Tower of Guns unlocked at $10 or more. The Humble Mobile Bundle 5 is also underway with six Android games available for pay what you want. Three unlock after paying more than the average (currently $5.10), with more games promised to be coming soon.

This weekends GOG.com sale is the Elite EA Assembly. Save 60% on games including the Ultima series, Alpha Centauri, Jade Empire, and more. GOG.com also has a Battle of the Games sale going on. The GOG community chose which games would get deep discounts, with the “defeated” games getting slightly less deep discounts. Games on sale here include Resonance, PixelJunk Monsters HD, Guacamelee! Gold Edition, and The Witcher.
